47: Chapter 48 Qi Refining Level 11 and Marriage
The battle happened in a flash, and the four Su Family Cultivators nearby were completely caught off guard, ending up in disarray.
Explosions rang out one after another, an incessant cacophony. Among them were Fireball Talismans, lightning Talismans, and Great Sword Talismans.
"Pfft~"
Deacon Su Changhe slowly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of unwillingness and fury.
Chen Fan dared not delay for too long and continued to form hand seals to control his Flying Sword.
With a "whoosh," the Flying Sword lightly brushed across the opponent's neck, releasing a mist of blood.
Seeing this, the several injured Su Family Disciples turned pale and fled the scene one after another.
However, under the attack of the Medium Grade Flying Sword, they were soon killed one by one.
Over these years, as his Realm improved, his combat skills had become increasingly seasoned.
Then, with a stretch of his hand, he pocketed the opponent's Storage Pouch and casually cast a fireball to destroy the evidence.
After handling the scene, Chen Fan did not feel much joy. In his view, this would certainly attract the attention of the Su Family.
...
On Qinglan Mountain, the atmosphere in the Su Family was exceptionally tense.
"Fallen?"
In the Su Family's council hall, an elderly man with a wrinkled face received the news that a clansman's soul lamp had extinguished. His brows locked tight, and he was filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Su Changhong has long been in charge of shop affairs. I never expected him to meet with misfortune. Could it be the work of the Qin Family?"
"Grand Elder, according to the reports from subordinates, this matter is related to that mysterious Alchemist and seems to have nothing to do with the Qin Family." A middle-aged Cultivator said with a grave expression, looking at the information on the Jade Slip reported to him.
"Is that so? This matter must be thoroughly investigated. The market is only as big as a palm; I don't believe we can't find them."
"Yes, I will lead the clansmen to investigate personally." The middle-aged Cultivator bowed and turned to leave.
Although he said that, trying to find that Cultivator wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
...
Chen Fan returned to the Qin Family, understanding the seriousness of the situation. Although that person's Realm was not high, he was one of the few Cultivators in the Su Family who was proficient in the art of Alchemy.
Next, the Su Family would certainly not give up and would surely stir up a storm.
"No, I must improve my cultivation as soon as possible."
Chen Fan dared not slack off and began to Cultivate bitterly. Only in this way could he have more chances to save his life.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months passed.
That layer of shackles had already been quite loose, and under the impact of a large number of Medicinal Pills, it collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On this day, as a white mist suddenly dispersed from behind him, the shackles were finally broken through.
"Is this Qi Refining Level 11?"
Chen Fan inspected his inner self and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
As his Realm improved, the mana stored in his Dantian increased, and the range of his spiritual sense detection further expanded.
He patted his Storage Pouch, summoning a Medium Grade Flying Sword and a small black pagoda.
He saw the sword whistling and the small tower rumbling, emitting a deafening sound.
Chen Fan was very satisfied with this; being able to control two Medium Grade Magical Artifacts simultaneously was something he dared not even dream of before.
"If it weren't for the help of Shen Yueyao's special Physique this time, it would have been extremely difficult to advance to this level."
After bathing and changing clothes, he slowly concealed his Realm to Qi Refining Level 10; he did not want to attract too much attention.
After reuniting with his Family, he began to refine Medicinal Pills.
During this time, he also inquired about various news in the market. It turned out that ever since the fall of Deacon Su Changhe, the Su Family had been exceptionally tense, sending out patrol teams to constantly inspect masked Cultivators.
However, two months later, there was no progress, and no trace of that mysterious Alchemist had been found.
Such a great commotion made many visiting Loose Cultivators wary. For a time, the flow of people decreased, actually causing the market to become depressed.
Seeing this situation, the Su Family had to give up.
After Chen Fan learned this news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he spent a month fully refining Medicinal Pills for the Family and the Treasure Pavilion.
As a Matrilocal son-in-law, Chen Fan had no intention of stopping on his path to taking a wife and prepared to marry another.
As luck would have it, Qin Yidan, who had been seeking his advice, became increasingly enthusiastic.
On this day, while asking for advice, because the Alchemy room was quite hot and stuffy, she generously removed her outer garment, slowly revealing her subtle features.
This scene surprised Chen Fan; he discovered a youthful aura of a maiden rushing towards him, which was exceptionally different.
After spending some time together, he had long understood her Family situation.
Her parents had both fallen while out executing a Family mission when she was very young.
The reason she was able to enter the Alchemy Hall was entirely due to her outstanding talent.
A batch of Medicinal Pills was finished, but she was not very happy; she discovered it was only a batch of four-pattern Medicinal Pills.
"Actually, it is already quite good. You are currently only at Qi Refining Level 6. If you want to continue to improve, you must still improve in your Realm and spiritual sense." Chen Fan pointed out the problems one by one.
"So that's how it is." Qin Yidan realized with sudden enlightenment, a faint smile appearing on her face.
At this moment, the Alchemy room was becoming increasingly hot, and sweat had soaked through this layer of clothing. Realizing something was wrong, she showed a look of shyness.
Ever since she was accidentally rescued last time and received guidance on the Dao of Alchemy, she seemed to have become somewhat dependent.
In fact, the relationship between the two was like a layer of window paper; it would break as soon as it was poked.
What was even more surprising was that Qin Yidan took the initiative to speak: "Big Brother Chen, why don't you marry me!"
"Marry you?"
Chen Fan was slightly surprised. He did not know if Great Elder Qin Yuanshan would agree. After all, he already had the intention to leave the Qin Family, and taking away another Qin Family Alchemist at that time would likely not be so easy.
"Does Big Brother Chen not like me?"
Qin Yidan noticed the other person's grave expression and was greatly disappointed; tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.
Just as she was so heartbroken, Chen Fan slowly embraced her.
"This matter still requires the Grand Elder's nod of approval. If it is approved, you will be my wife."
"Really?" Qin Yidan smiled brightly.
"Of course." Chen Fan knew well that with her talent in the Dao of Alchemy, if he were to establish a cultivation Family in the future, she would certainly be a great help.
Over the next few days, just when Chen Fan nervously made this request, he did not expect Great Elder Qin Yuanshan to nod and agree without any obstruction.
The wedding was very simple. After it was held, it was the bridal chamber night.
...
After lingering for many days, and waiting until he had accumulated quite a few Medicinal Pills, Chen Fan finally headed to Qingyang Market again.
This time, he could clearly feel that the flow of people in the market was much less than before. Although the Su Family's law enforcement team was no longer inspecting masked Cultivators in black, they were watching very closely, and registration was mandatory.
Seeing this situation, Chen Fan could only discard his mask.
However, this difficult problem did not stump him. His wife, Lu Fushuang, was skilled at making various Talismans, and she could make a whole handful of such disguise Talismans.
It was just that the duration was limited; each Talisman could only last for one hour.
However, even after some disguise, he still attracted the attention of the Su Family's law enforcement team.
A burly Cultivator said coldly: "You look quite unfamiliar, come over and register."
